Air Slash: evolution and compatible Pokémon

Original game · d567c6da

Upgrade recipe

Air Slash L5 + Reflexes this run + one gold evolution choice → Air Slash +.

Air Slash · L5
Reflexes ×1
Separate gold evolution choices ×1
Air Slash +

Still needed: 4 level upgrades · run card needed · gold choice not entered.

Permanent upgrades do not replace the run card. Each evolved move consumes its own gold choice; a ready recipe does not guarantee an offer.

Max level → evolution, with the same Pokémon and resource modifiers

Damage per second: 63.24 → 113.31 · Base power / support per stack: 18.27 → 32.89 · Activation interval: 0.38 → 0.38 s · Emitted count: 4 → 6

The extra max-level + card row and evolution row share the required run card. They show a target after the displayed requirements are met, without adding cards or a gold choice to your current inputs.

More projectiles or contacts increase potential coverage. Single-target damage uses only the hits and uptime you enter.

Changing species resets species-specific moves, TM teaching and traits. Shared resource and target inputs remain. Candidate links always carry that candidate’s legal context.

Upgrade order and alternatives

Air Slash: level 1 → 5, obtain Reflexes, then select its separate gold evolution.

Until the missing resources are obtained, keep the real starting move Ember at level 1 with 0 Bonds.

Details

Projectiles steer toward a target. Count is emitted projectiles; a hit still needs contact.

Current evolved attacks

All 97 original evolved moves now display their base localized name followed by “ +”. Requirements and evolution modifiers stay the same; previous names remain searchable aliases. Meteor Mash is now damage 24, radius 48 and knockback 70 (previously 34/54/80); cooldown 1.4 s and count 2 are unchanged. Every level and evolved output is calculated from this updated base.

Original and embedded edition

These additions apply to the pinned original release 1a52cc838c. The embedded community game uses its separate published rules snapshot: its Meteor Mash and legacy evolution names are retained by the Community model, and the new original-only Orbs, Plate scoring and item-break assumptions are not applied to it.

TM compatibility

Only the listed compatible, off-type TMs can add new moves. Type + Normal natural moves need no TM. Teaching consumes one unused TM permanently; known moves cannot be taught twice. Taught moves join level-up cards and non-buff starting choices. Compatibility alone does not mean already learned.

Abilities

HP, weather and target conditions are explicit inputs. Ability startup precedes cards/items. Frame-based random/proc effects are reported separately; sustained DPS still needs your hit/occupancy assumptions. Hustle expectation averages rounded weak/normal branches. Absorb/dodge grant 0.3s invulnerability; pure damage bypasses them.
